Iron Man 2 -- FIRST LOOK!

The flick began shooting three weeks ago and opens May 7, 2010. “How many superheroes are open about their true identities?” director Jon Favreau asks of USA Today. “We wanted to play with that idea. But it obviously has consequences — in his relationships, on the team. There are a lot of areas we can explore.”

Gwyneth Paltrow is back as Pepper Potts and added to the blockbuster’s sequel are Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer.
